Use black and white lights to contrast against light wooden accents: If you’re craving a bit of contrast, try adorning your space with hanging black and white pendant lamps for a finishing touch. Meanwhile, the look of light hardwood floors, a blond wood table and a contrasting black accent wall help to seal the deal.

Turn to rustic elements for a dose of bohemian chic: After all, there’s nothing quite like funky boho accents to usher serenity and peace into your humble abode. Hang a woven pendant lamp above your bed, and use black and white linens for a cool, chic touch. To complete the rustic look of your space, woven wall tapestries, wicker baskets and clay vases transport an ordinary urban dwelling into a bohemian paradise.
